For Hong Kong artist Ailsa Wong’s first solo exhibition, she’s created a body of work that melds a 3D video game, moving sculptures, sound installations, a visual novel game, and more – all in a cave-like setting. Made to recall the interior of an ant nest, Wong uses how ant colonies operate as a super-organism to propose a paradigm where all sentient beings – living, mechanical, or otherwise – are part of a single, all-encompassing entity. Learn about the myths and stories they would tell if ants had religions; explore the illusion of choice by wandering down virtual pathways that lead to seemingly different places; examine artwork of embryo images set in clay, and more, all while brass bells strung together by braided hair chime as they swing from the ceiling.
